Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:40:56 +0000http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/?p=2875#comment-281215There lies at the center of our country a weakspot, one that can be used to usurp power and authority that the 10th amendment to the US constitution forbids. this weakness is the federal government and it’s practice of overpowering the rights of states. states are supposed to be autonomous, and the only connection they have to the federal aspect of this country is the senate and representatives. despots have stealthily infiltrated the networks of parties to steal control and then expand their powers over things they do not have juristiction over. it is a sure sign that the federal government has been usurped by despots when it seeks to control the internal matters of the states.

JTK – if YOU wrote a good article, we’d consider it for publication on the site here. It doesn’t matter if you’re writing a book, or have never done anything of the sort.

It’s the content of the article that’s more important here anyway.

passing laws prohibiting the financing of political candidates on the national corporate level. contributions should only come from the candidates constituants.. meaning the state they come from,or the district they represent. because the emphasis should be representing the people who live in the state, and not money…..the candidate must adhere to strict campaign rules regarding money. setting rules with limits on campaign financing to only allow money from the people who he represents forces the candidate to answer directly to the people who do the voting.. rich or poor.. it becomes a matter of issues and not money.

also I agree that an amrmed revolt is out of the question.. weapons today have the ability to wipe out millions, in seconds… I don’t think this is what the founding fathers had in mind.. this can never become an option

Yes, the Founders left us a number of “options” or methods to address unconstitutionality (government corruption/usurpation) but only one power/force concerning “elected Officials”; the power to hire and fire them and then only at election times, for the House Members that is every two years.

We can use our Right of Grievance to influence with petitions, phone calls, and letters or in person and some claim we can file charges in courts.

The Right of Grievance is grossly misunderstood as it has no power/force at all; all government officials are “constitutionally” required to do about or with Grievances is listen to them. The simply explanation is the People cannot grievance the Constitution away; the People cannot amend the Constitution. As you know it requires three fourths of the State’s Legislatures in agreement to amend the Constitution.

Jefferson, a brilliant genius man, is often quoted as saying something like armed revolt every so often is necessary or not necessarily a bad thing, but the Constitution doesn’t say that. An “enforced” constitution actually makes armed revolution completely unnecessary forevermore.

I am saying exactly the Founders left us the “Constitution” to rule government and the Constitution does NOT endorse, espouse, or condone the use of arms to keep government Officials bound by the Constitution.

The Founders left us no power/force/authority to control or dictate to government, except; the Founders did leave us the power/force of Employer over government “elected Officials” and that power/force extends “only” to the hiring (or firing by not reelecting) of “elected” Officials.

We have the Right, born in 1215 of the Magna Carta/Charta, as Jurors to defend ourselves and each other from government “legislation”, Amendments or any injustice or unjust application of any law in government “Courts”.

We had the Right, not necessarily the power/force, to defend ourselves from “aggression” at birth as generations before us and long before the Constitution or the Colonies ever existed. Adam, first man, was born or created with the “Right” to defend himself – all living things have the Right to defend themselves from “physical attack”.

There is NO “Constitutional Right” in the USA to an armed revolution against government. There is a constitutional Right to defend ourselves, family, property and Neighbor from physical attack/aggression/crime. There is a Militia Right to defend its “Community” from physical attack/aggression/crime foreign or domestic.

Larry,

OK, I agree special interest money is criminal – how do you propose “we the people” stop special interest money?

the way to fix the problem of corrupt voting is to stop the flow of special interest money. politicians must be forced to campaign and answer to the people.. not to the corporations that fund them.. But like Michale says… there is much more to the problem then just voting..

you really must do some research.

Nope, and just look at how well the write ins do at the polls.. tell me how many write in’s have won an election in your state?.. wow that many huh?

“What is to prevent or stop the People of any one or all of those Districts to pick a candidate for the House in Congress to vote for?”

ever see someone get elected without money?? pretty sure the going rate to get a seat in the Senate is close to a million.. maybe more in New York or Massachusetts
how do you plan on running against someone who is financed by large corporations?.. how many tv spots can you buy with your meager income, what sort of fund raisers can you throw and where besides your backyard? compared to someone getting money from special interest groups?.

Give up the argument…

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 18:33:12 +0000http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/?p=2875#comment-277034Allan – if you’re making the claim that the only method (other than violent revolution) that the founders proposed to correct federal overreach is the ballot box, you’ve got some history to study up on.

We’ll be doing a podcast on what the founders recommended in the future – and it’s far more than just voting.

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 18:31:03 +0000http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/?p=2875#comment-277033The whole of government pays no attention to the Constitution or the Oath of Office simply because the People do not enforce the Oath of Office. Therefore the People pay no attention to the Constitution, Oath of Office or their Duty in Citizenship.

You talk about “what is going on” in government/politics not how to fix it. What do you think is Citizen’s Duty in Citizenship? Is that People’s Duty to fix and keep fixed government; if so then how, by what “constitutional” method (the method left to us by the Founders)?
